About this vendor
*Now booking through 2026! See website for pricing.
Located just 20 minutes from downtown Minneapolis, Maple Grove, MN, is a rich and thriving community filled with beautiful parks, retail, and recreation venues. Serving the local community for over 25 years, our facilities are the perfect blank slate for your next wedding or event. Maple Grove Community Center offers event packages for wedding ceremonies and receptions, rehearsal dinners, baby and bridal showers, engagement parties, anniversary celebrations, and family gatherings to celebrate all of life's milestones.
Conveniently situated on I-94 and Weaver Lake Road, the Community Center is nestled between the Shoppes of Arbor Lakes and our beautiful Maple Grove Parks. Wedding ceremonies can be hosted in the included garden patio adjacent to the Banquet Room reception space, or at one of our nearby parks, Town Green or Central Park of Maple Grove.
The Banquet Room accommodates round table seating for up to 256 guests and includes a built-in wooden dance floor and elevated stage perfect for a ceremony, sweetheart table, DJ or live band. Three access points lead you through the Banquet Room to the outdoor garden patio for a ceremony or cocktail hour in the fresh air. Seasonal flowers are planted every spring, and the lush Eastern Redbud tree blooms light pink, adding the perfect spring-colored touch. The warm ambiance of the Banquet Room provides a well-lit canvas to your cocktail hour and reception. All furniture, including tables, chairs, and bar pieces, are available with your rental. Modern amenities such as the complimentary in-house sound system with microphones, optional big-screen projectors, and portable flatscreen TVs allow your photo slideshow, video montage, or virtual attendees to come to life. All furniture setup and clean-up are included so you can focus on your special day.
The Town Green is just two blocks away from Maple Grove Community Center and includes two impressive outdoor ceremony locations. The Bandshell is a large glass and concrete structure with built-in seating for up to 350. The sound system with expert A/V staff is included in the rental. If a lake view backdrop is more your style, the Point is an ideal wedding ceremony location for up to 200. Decorate the built-in pergola with floral, lighting, or greenery to match your wedding vision.
Central Park of Maple Grove, located less than one mile away from the Community Center, is the prized recreational area housing a gorgeous indoor Phenow Pavilion and rentable Garden for memorable wedding ceremonies in the sun. The Phenow Pavilion includes vaulted wood-finished ceilings and glass windows all around for wedding receptions up to 120 guests. The Garden is the perfect location for quaint wedding ceremonies in a park atmosphere.

We had a great experience with them. Alyssa is great and very helpful, professional and kind. I absolutely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for an affordable venue.

s amazing that we dont have to move the table and chairs to make the dance floor space. Alyssa from the Maple Grove Community was very helpful in walking through the whole process and answering all our questions promptly. Lots of event centers are limited to vendors, but MGCC was open to any vendors that we liked. Highly recommend this community center for wedding events.

d for us!! Great job!!!
Alyssa is very helpful when scheduling our events and making sure we have all that we need. Staff on site during our week day events are always helpful and accommodating.
They were easy to get ahold of. However they had us pay for a security guard that I never saw. And neither did any of my guest.
Renting was easy, services explained very well, setup was perfect. The people we worked with were pleasant and helpful.

enue for someone looking for a beautiful, affordable option where you can make a lot of decisions yourself. One thing to note- if you want a venue that is full service and does everything for you, this is not going to be your best option. The community center is perfect for a couple looking for lots of flexibility in what vendors they bring in and those who want to create their own unique experience! We had an amazing time and would absolutely have chosen the community center if we had to do it all over again!
Overall, this location was nicer than I figured it would be. Even my groom was impressed with the overall look and service. He wasn't sure the room would be done up to my standar...
